Chicago, August 12-The "Daily
News" asserts that sensational in
formation was received in this city
a few days ago to the effect that an
insurrectlon is being stirred up in
the Canadian Northwest. An old
member of the now defunct Ameri-
can group of Internationals has re-
ceived letter from the headquart-
ers of the Canadian Revolutionary
League, copies of which, he says,
have also been addressed to all
Fenian societies in the United
States. The letter is signed by the
Fenian leader, Patrick Grove, and
Louis Riel's aid-de-camp, Gabriel
Dumont, and bears the seal of the
Revolutionary Central Committee of
Canada. The letter denounces Bri-
fish rule and calls assistance to aid
a rebellion against the government.
The organization is throughout a
secret one and has its branches in
all the cities of Canada and in some
cities in the United States.
Chatsworth, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE
Niagara Falls excursion train on the
Toledo, Peoria and Western Railway,
consisting of seventeen coaches and
sleepers crowded with passengers
from Peoria and points along the
line, was wrecked twelve miles east
of Chatsworth by running into a
burning culvert. The engines were
completely wrecked, together with
ten coaches and the baggage car.
Engineer McClintock was instantly
killed, two firemen and the other
engineer escaping serious injury.
The cars were piled on top of the
two engines, ten being telescoped
and piled on top of each other. 1t
is miraculous how any one escaped,
as the coaches and engines do not
occupy over two carlengths of the
tract. In one coach not person
escaped. In another only one lady.
Seventy dead bodies have been
taken out up to this time, and 100
wounded are now in Chatsworth Town
Hall, the schoolhouse, the depot,
etc. At Piper city there are large
numbers Of the injured. The dead
are estimated at over one hundred.
The cars caught fire but the fire was
put out by trainmen and passen-
gers. A heavy rain set in about
two hours after the wreck and be-
fore the wounded could be taken
away, and continued raining for
two hours. The people are doing all
they can for the wounded.
